Well, hey friend, welcome to Java with Julie, hosted by me, Julie Slattery.

This podcast is a listener supported outreach authentic intimacy, which is a ministry dedicated

to reclaiming God's design for sexuality.

Well we are in week three of our seven week series on different themes around God's sex

and intimacy.

Now, this week, we're focusing on sex and marriage.

Well, if you've been married for any amount of time, you probably know that most times

a husband and wife aren't 100% aligned in their expectation of what their sex life is

going to look like.

Some wives will wonder why their husband isn't interested in sex or doesn't initiate

as often as they would like, and then there are husbands who struggle to understand why

their wives avoid sex or seem emotionally disconnected.

Well, these are all common problems around sex and marriage, and it's a challenge for

a lot of couples to build a healthy and satisfying sex life.

That's what we're going to be talking about today with my guest Jay Parker and Bonnie Burns.

They are the hosts of the popular podcast, Sex Chat for Christian Wives, and they're

joining me to share about their own experiences where they see other women's struggling and

how to overcome those normal but often really deeply painful sexual problems in marriage.

Now, this conversation is also going to be helpful for you husbands who are trying to

figure out how your wife is navigating some challenges around your sexual relationship.

So don't tune out, you guys.

I think this is a great one for you just to learn from.
